Here, LaChapelle explains how the concept came to life.
Ive always loved the rawness of B-movies and tabloids and Hollywood Babylon.
The shoot is playing with those ideas in a humorous way.
The underwater shot thats the water birth of Charli into the bratosphere.
And shes broken free, but shes still got handcuffs on.
It could be a B-movie poster, right?
I didnt put any context behind what she was being arrested for.
She was just breaking the rules.
Being brat and breaking the rules.
An animal trapped in the woods would bite off its own limb she bites off her hand.
People will watch the rise as much as theyll watch the fall.
Then shes brought to the hospital and probably given some sort of painkiller.
Shes stuck in a dreamscape, but in the end, she frees herself.
The hallucination kind of encapsulates the whole shoot.
Instead of a real Hollywood tragedy, its more of a fantasized one.
Thats a lot to take in for anyone.
It wasnt a sudden thing, and it wasnt something she didnt want.
She has been doing this for a long time.
Shes ready for it.
